    a.) Gene = Wings

    b.) Alleles = C, S

    c.) Mother's Genotype = SS

    d.) Genotype of her tooth fairy husband = CS

    e.) Genotype of the other 2 children = CS

    Explanation:

    Complete question

    In tooth fairies, curved wings are dominant over straight wings. If a homozygous recessive tooth fairy has 4 children, and half of them have straight wings

    a.) Gene=

    b.) Alleles=

    c.) Mother's Genotype=

    d.) Genotype of her tooth fairy husband=

    e.) Genotype of the other 2 children=

    Solution -

    Here the allele being talked about is the wing type

    Thus gene = wing

    Let the allele for curved wings be represented by "C"

    and the allele for straight wings be represented by "S"

    Thus, allele are C and S

    Genotype of mother -

    Genotype of father is CS

    and genotype of mother is SS

    CS * SS

    CS, CS, SS, SS

    Only SS will have straight wings.

    Genotype of her tooth fairy husband = CS

    Genotype of other two children - CS
